Scottish Premier League Roundup, Jan 24

Marc-Antoine Fortune scored twice as Celtic came from behind to beat 10-man St. Johnstone 4-1 on Sunday and close the gap on leader Rangers to seven points.

Celtic took advantage of Scottish Premier League champion Rangers drawing 1-1 with Hearts on Saturday.

Liam Craig had given St. Johnstone the lead from the penalty spot in the 12th minute after Glenn Loovens tugged Steven Milne inside the box.

But the game turned in Celtic's favor after Graham Gartland was sent off seconds into the second half after fouling Fortune.

The former Nancy striker equalized with an angled drive in the 64th and grabbed a second from close range, either side of Georgios Samaras' volleyed goal.

Celtic substitute Paddy McCourt sealed the win with a late solo goal in the 86th.

In Sunday's other match, Dundee United went third with a 4-1 win at Falkirk.
